27: Bundle of Joy

Size of baby: Bunch of bananas- the cochleae have developed in baby’s ears
contributing to his/her sense of hearing. Baby can control lungs and regulate
body temperature.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: 20 pounds- going
strong.

Maternity Clothes: I do a mixture. I really
love my two new pairs of maternity shorts. They are a game changer as we are
approaching the 90 degree days.

Gender: SURPRISE! Matt and I still think boy. Noah wants boy and
Deacon now wants girl.

Movement: We had our sonogram
yesterday, and all of baby’s limbs are on the right side of my body. I feel so
much movement there, so it’s awesome to actually see why. Baby had his/her legs
crossed just like brothers did still- talk about melting our hearts. We are already
SO in love.

Sleep: not the best. Matt bought me the sweetest box of chocolate for
Mother’s day. I had a couple last night, and I’m about 100% one of them had
coffee in it. I tossed and tossed and tossed and turned last night.

What I miss: Sound sleep and high
energy levels. I also have such a weak bladder this time around. It’s comical
but horrible that peeing in my pants at work from sneezing/coughing has become
a real fear of mine.

Best Moment This Week: We did a girl’s camping trip on Saturday night for Ashley’s
birthday. We headed out to a camp site right on the lake and enjoyed chili,
s’mores, walking trails and card games. This was then followed by a spectacular
Mother’s day. I told Matt I didn’t want any gifts- just not to have to cook any
meals. He granted my wish and also cleaned my house! The boys were very kind
and sweet. It was just a great day. I had a hard wakeup call Monday when I was
back to real life. Luckily, vacation starts Wednesday!
